About 5 years ago I was trying to locate birds in Collville. I tried owl first light, then crow and peacock. Heard nothing.
There was a pretty decent creek in the area and a Mallard hen started hailing and the whole damn woods lit up with gobbles.
I have now found another use for my favorite duck call. a few lonesome hens seems to work the best. and when all else fails the Highball works pretty good too.
